Chapter 311 - Cooperation (2/2)
Doctor Sun’s brows furrowed sharply as the minutes ticked by Soon, nearly an hour had passed He had co had co Maid Lotus as a er of New Moon Hall When he finally spoke, his tone carried a sense of bewilderment, like someone at their wits’ end “Difficult, this is indeed difficult Dragon King, how could you possibly practice your Internal Strength to this extent? Both positive and negative exist within, and your yin and yang are not in harmony To think you could actually withstand it…”
Doctor Sun could not help but shake his head Clicking his tongue, he said, “If Dragon King doesn’tyour lifespan by 30 years, I actually have a solution that you can try But no promises that it’ll work out”
“I am not here to see a doctor” Gu Shenwei replied coldly “If I was able to endure it before, I can endure it in the future as well”
Doctor Sun stared at Dragon King in surprise His haughty demeanor had been replaced with one that seehtly, he said, “As Dragon King wishes, I apologize forOne moment, please”
Doctor Sun took his leave Gu Shenaited alone until suddenly, the bookshelf near the wall split open and Maid Lotus eht ed
In the past, she had been a quiet and ah she did not attract attention, she was able to gain the trust of others easily Now, even though her looks reaze that people could not possibly ignore
Gu Shenwei suddenly hts and said, “When can I see your Master?”
“Soon, but not now” Maid Lotus’ gaze was ht now, she has other matters to attend to”
“If that’s the case, does that mean you are the one who makes decisions in Jade City now?”
Maid Lotus s twice Guan Shang, the former black- the summon She bowed respectfully toward Maid Lotus and asked, “What can I do for you, Managing Master?”
“Convey to hiing Master as younger than her by a few years, Guan Shang’s nervousness was akin to a killer apprentice who had just entered the East Castle Her tense expression eased as she turned toward Dragon King
“Dragon King would like to wipe out the Shangguan family, and New Moon Hall would like to occupy the castle on the mountain top Since Golden Roc Fort is the coether With the Great Snowmountain in the open, and New Moon Hall in secret, this is a htly at the words ‘
Maid Lotus waved a hand in dis bowed as she left the room
“What do you think?” Maid Lotus asked
“Working together is a good thing” Gu Shenwei suppressed his true emotions and decided to consider the proposal in his role as Dragon King “Let’s be honest and talk about e both want”
“We only want to take over Golden Roc Fort as it was the original home of New Moon Hall”
“The Great Snowmountain wants to take over the entire Jade City, all 800 miles from east to west”
“The Great Snow as you provide New Moon Hall an escape route”
“How many people are there in New Moon Hall? Where are they distributed?”
The answer to that question was classified information However, Maid Lotus did not hesitate and answered immediately, “167 people 121 of the Family, one in Joy Pavilion, another in Four Truths Temple and 18 of them in Golden Roc Fort The rest are dispersed in different areas It is alright to assume that New Moon Hall had insiders planted in all the forces within the Jade City”
Gu Shenas surprised and delighted New Moon Hall was indeed the assistance that he needed In the past three years, when he had been hunted and forced to flee to the Western Region, New Moon Hall had quietly shi+fted their influence from the desert to Jade City It was even possible that Supre had no idea that his enemies were so close to hi for instance”
“People are never reliable” There was a hint of coldness from Maid Lotus’ voice “What is reliable is the reen pill, siave to Gu Shenwei, appeared in Maid Lotus’ hand “The Blood Coagulation Pill wasmaker and mixed with 81 types of herbs and poisons It is necessary to consu, within seven days, you will go berserk and die And the state when you are dying… it’s better not to say”
Her calh the pill in her hands was an elixir that could bring back life
“You consume it as well?” He could not help but ask, relieved that he had not taken the pills given by Maid Lotus yesterday
“People are never reliable” Maid Lotus repeated, not answering Gu Shenwei’s question directly “I know a lot of things in New Moon Hall, for exa used pills like that to control the black-masked assassins Golden Roc Fort has sworn to never use the occult sciences from New Moon Hall, but he still kept some of it He didn’t even dare to name the pills But those are just imitations Their effectiveness pales in comparison to the authentic ones that we have in New Moon Hall”
Gu Shenwei finally understood why Guan Shang had defected froiance established through fear by these pills But then he remembered the crazed women and believed Maid Lotus’ words The reverence she had towards the Blood Coagulation pills was also tinged with a trace of craziness Gu Shenwei heightened his alertness
“With such tactics, New Moon Hall should be able to penetrate Golden Roc Fort from within any tireen pill “The Blood Coagulation Pill is very rare and precious You cannot use it on just anybody If ant to capture Golden Roc Fort, it’s better to rely on true strength, like the swordsmen from the Great Snowilant and slowly drew out the Dragon Head Sword, pointing it at a slant to the ground
Maid Lotus pulled out her sword nonchalantly and crossed it together with Gu Shenwei’s weapon
With this as a syan their second cooperation
Gu Shenwei recognized that Maid Lotus’ weapon had not changed, it was still the “Huan” sword
